👏 👏 👏 Thanks @SenatorWicker for continuing to champion efforts to #beatntds! @USAIDGH support is having an incredible impact on the health of millions around the world 🌍 We must stay committed!

[Senator Roger Wicker @SenatorWicker]

Neglected tropical diseases should remain high on our country’s health agenda until the harm and suffering they cause is a thing of the past. There are concrete steps we can take to build on progress and finish the job.

If you think the delta #SARSCoV2 variant is just the *same old, same old*, think again—these countries were all countries who had been quite successful in controlling the first couple of #COVID19 waves. If you can #GetTheShot—for yourself, for your loved ones, for your community

.@LindseyGrahamSC at Senate Appropriations #SFOPS hearing: “Every time somebody from @USAID interacts with a person in a faraway place, it makes America safer, because generally speaking it’s good branding for our country. So I hope we can find a way to plus up the budget.”

@PeterHotez I’m so sorry you are going through this. You’ve played and continue to play a very important role in combatting misinformation. Please take care of yourself and report these outlets.

[Laura Cane @LauraCane7]
